With AI now being used more to screen resumes, has anyone changed how they approach job applications? I used to get a decent number of responses after applying. Now it feels like most applications just vanish into a black hole. I can’t tell if it’s because of AI filtering candidates or if the job market is just tougher right now. Curious if others are seeing the same thing. Have you changed how you write or tailor your resume because of AI screening?

Definitely use chatgpt or your choice of ai to find out what key words to use in your resume to pass ATS screening. You can search based on a specific role or the company you’re applying for. I’ve had great success with it

Yeah I’ve heard that too, feels like you almost have to optimize for the system first before a human even sees it. It’s a bit of a weird shift, but if it helps get past that initial filter, hard to ignore.

I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve been using ai to give me tips on how to pass the screening and that’s seemed to help a bit.

It really does feel like we have to play the game now. I’ve started doing the same, and it helps a bit, even if it’s a little frustrating.
